This article isn't about running per se, but it mentions running several

alternatives to improving conditioning.
A few quotes from the article:
1. "Back in the 1980s, Soviet scientists and coaches, Prof. Yuri
Verkhoshansky among...

The fact that fat burn is maximized at a low heartrate does not mean
energy is minimized, or even that carbohydrate is minimized. In fact, at
the HRmaxfatburn, carbohydrate is NOT minimized, but rather burned in

Ok, after several years biking, I've been walking for the last several
months. The shoes I have fit ok, but oftentimes I have heel blisters to
deal with when switching pairs, and the blisters occur over the first
couple of weeks until the shoes are broken in. Up until now, I haven't
had much...

I don't really run any more, heck, I hardly jog very much of my morning
walk jogs. Finished this years Hapalua Half Marathon 41 minutes slower
